What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:
I would like to learn how to adapt to the Net Generation learning preferences. I embrace new technology as well as strategies and practices that meet the needs of the students that we currently teach. I am from the Y Generation where I have been exposed to technology all my life, however, today's technology advancements superside the speed at which technology had changed as I grew up and it takes longer to learn it as I get older. I want my students to be motivated and internalize their learning. Therefore, I will openly take on the challenges that their generation sends my way!
My favorite game(s):
My favorite games are interactive and does not require a lot of "brain power". I enjoy the games that are meant to be fun and relaxing. This helps bond people together when laughter is involved!
